Series: Unmasking Manhood

Episode 13: Beyond Anger — Learning the Language Men Were Never Taught

For generations, men have been told to be strong, tough, and silent. The cost? An entire language of emotions left unspoken. Anger becomes the mask, and everything else—fear, sadness, shame—gets buried.

In this episode in the series Unmasking Manhood, Eric Miller explores what happens when men begin to recover the language they were never given. Drawing from his own story of addiction healing, and from his book Allied We Can Find Common Ground, he reveals how learning to name emotions reshaped his life and leadership.

This isn’t just about personal growth. It’s about connection, empathy, and the kind of strength that can’t be faked. When men reclaim their emotional voice, relationships change, communities heal, and the grip of false leaders begins to weaken.

The journey into emotional literacy is more than self-help—it’s about becoming the kind of man who can face himself honestly, stand with others authentically, and lead with courage in a divided world.
